When I was younger, my friend, and I used to talk on the phone for hours and read each other the Wikipedia pages that came up when you hit random. One time this page came up for this old ass ninth century Swedish king called Olof Skötkonung (or Olaf the Swede). I don’t know why I thought this was absolutely hilarious, but I immediately changed my tumblr handle @olaftheswede and it’s been my online handle for everything ever since. It doesn’t really make much sense anymore, but I’m quite attached to it.

Every time I go to Wikipedia to look something up I am first treated with some new knowledge I didn’t even know I needed (usually it’s about some European village, cricket player or bug)

not sure how everyone else engages with this site, but since i was a kid my brother and i would just have a bunch of tabs opened from various Wikipedia articles that sparked our interest. even today, we sometimes FaceTime and go through lists of [random category] just for the heck of it 😂
